Postfix Mail Queue and Zimbra

[glitch23]

After a recent upgrade to 4.5.10 NE I started receiving emails mostly status reports and logwatch reports to admin@mail.server.com. After searching I found the problem was the upgrade change the smtp address to admin@mail.server.com as opposed to admin@server.com.

No biggie cleared that right up, but now I have a queue filled with email that I can't flush, at least not easily. When I run any of the postfix commands other than `mailq` I get "mail system is down." This is queue is separate from the one that Zimbra uses i.e. If I `su - zimbra` and run `mailq` it tells me Zimbra's mailq which I can check in the Admin Gui.

It only happens on this one server, my other MTA's are fine and mailq as root and as Zimbra return the same thing.

Anyone have anyway to do this?

I did notice this in the main.cf file located at /etc/postfix/main.cf

postfix/main.cf:myhostname = mailbox.talkpoint.com
postfix/main.cf:mydestination = mailbox.talkpoint.com, localhost.talkpoint.com, localhost

what about postqueue -f?

Also, what does your /var/log/zimbra.log say?

Another one to try is the postsuper command.

postqueue -f returns:

postqueue: fatal: Cannot flush mail queue - mail system is down

postsuper -d (delete) worked they were mostly av notices since that also needs to be changed after the upgrade. Had to do them one at a time, but they are all gone now.

Thanks.

Can you post your /var/log/zimbra.log

Also, what header greeting do you get if you telnet to localhost 25 ?

I wasn't able to find anything referring to those postfix messages or queue ID's anywhere in zimbra.log. I suspect it has something to do with the packages Ubuntu Dapper installs by default. Originally in order to get Logwatch to work I had to link /opt/zimbra/postfix/sbin/sendmail to /usr/sbin/sendmail.

The output from telnet is:

Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
220 mailbox.server.com ESMTP Postfix

named changed to server.com to protect the innocent.
